This herb-rich compound butter can really enhance the flavor of your holiday turkey, especially if you apply it under the bird’s skin.

Why try? By massaging the turkey meat with this flavorful butter, you’ll end up with a delicious, juicy Thanksgiving turkey everyone will absolutely love.

Foodie Byte: It’s important to get as much of the bird coated with the herb butter as you can. Don’t be afraid to reach under the skin as far as you can.
